==History==
History has it that Vishnuvardhana (originally known as Bitti Deva) was influenced by Ramanujacharya (or simply Ramanuja) when the saint cured a Hoysala princess of illness. Bitti Deva changed his name to "Vishnuvardhana", gave up his original faith Jainism, and became a Srivaishnava (a follower of a stream of the Vaishnava sect of Hinduism) and a devotee of Ramanujacharya. The king built five temples for the god Vishnu: the Veeranarayana temple at Gadag, the Nambinarayana temple at Tondanur, the Chennakesava Temple at Belur, the Kirtinarayana temple at Talakad and the Cheluvanarayana temple at Melkote.〔〔〔 34 medieval inscriptions have been discovered in Gadag, mostly within the premises of the two important temples in the town: the "Veeranarayana" and the "Trikuteshwara" temples. From these inscriptions there is ample evidence Gadag was a notable place of learning (''maha-agrahara'') adminsitered by 72 ''mahajanas'' (''maha'' meaning "important" and ''jana'' meanng "persons") during ancient times.〔
During the Vijayanagar empire era, according to the scholar D. Sheshagiri Rao, the notable Kannada poet Kumara Vyasa who called Gadag his home and the god Narayana (of Gadag) his favorite deity, wrote his Kannada version of the Hindu epic ''Mahabharata'' making adulatory references invariably to the deity of this temple at the end of each canto (''sandhi'') .〔Rao (1986), page viii, ''Kumaravyasa Mahabharata (abridged): An English Transcreation of Kumaravyasa's Karnata Bharata Kathamanjari'', Parijatha Publications, 〕 Legend has it that it was in this temple, at a particular pillar in the hall, that Kumara Vyasa accomplished the epic having received divine inspiration from his deity.〔Tattvāloka, Volume 25, page 34, 2002, Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Educational Trust〕〔 An inscription of c.1539 inscribed during the rule of King Achyuta Deva Raya confirms a gift (''Anandanidhi'') given by the king to the temple.〔
